4 ILR-SD OFFICIAL JUDGE S PLACING CARDS FOR YOUTH JUDGING For use with Hormel Scoring System OFFICIAL JUDGE S PLACING: Showmanship Class Judge s signature HORMEL SCORING SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS This system is designed to score judging classes on a basis of 50 points per class. In judging a class, the youth place four animals or items. This scoring system penalizes a contestant the amount of the margin between the two animals or items involved in each decision. The Official Judge should determine the official placing and establish by number the margin of difference between each of the three pairs. These numbers represent the penalties for switching the Top (T), Middle (M), and Bottom (B) pairs and as such form the basis of grading. The total of all three penalties cannot exceed 15. If they total 15, the middle number cannot be larger than 5. If they total 14, the middle number cannot be larger than Consider an example of a class by the Official Judge. The represents the Judge s cuts; 2 for switching the top pair, 5 and 3 for switching the middle and bottom pairs, respectively. The cuts of 2 and 3 indicate that the top and bottom pairs were fairly close pairs while the 5 indicates the middle pair had enough differences to make it a fairly easy placing. Establishing cuts is most difficult for a judge. Using the Hormel System, 1 and 2 are usually used for a close pair, 1 for extremely close, 2 if there is good reason to mix the pair. Cuts of 4-8 are used for easy placings. Cuts of 5, 5, and 5 would indicate a very easy class from top to bottom while 2-2 or cuts would indicate an extremely close class with reasons for putting the bottom place on top.
